China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 992 Legendary Wealth Myth: How Can Relying on a Man Not Be Considered Effort?
Why not push for Jiangdong to go public?
This wasn't just a question in Lao Wang's mind.

This is a common problem for countless people both inside and outside the industry.

In today's entertainment industry, which has become capitalized, many people rack their brains to engage in capital operations to reap profits and cash out in the stock market.

There's a reason why the senior executives at Huayi Brothers were talking behind the scenes. Zhou Yutang has never had any plans to push for an A-share listing, which is indeed going against the grain.

Zhou Yutang paid no attention to the various speculations or discussions of others.

He has his own goals and pace in doing things, and he has always done so over the years.

On the other hand, after its theatrical run, "Operation Red Sea" reached a total box office of 52.47 billion yuan, and it seemed to be losing momentum.

This is normal; by this point, you've basically seen everything you needed to see.

Many movie fans have even watched it two or three times.

Furthermore, the measures introduced by the authorities this year to restrict ticket subsidies have pushed the box office of this patriotic military blockbuster to second place on the all-time box office chart of Chinese films.

The bureau's opinion is to extend the screening period by two months as a minimum guarantee, at which time the total box office can be further increased.

Mr. Jiang, the boss of Anle, must be envious. "Monster Hunt 2," which stubbornly reached 22.48 billion yuan at the box office despite being criticized this year, has only been granted a one-month extension.

If "Operation Red Sea" dominated the Spring Festival film season, then "How Long Will I Love U" starring Sweet Princess was undoubtedly the dark horse of March.

Over three weeks, it grossed 13.25 billion yuan at the box office, firmly suppressing Marvel's superhero blockbuster "Black Panther" during the same period, delivering a near-perfect performance.

"The press conference for 'Pacific Rim: Uprising' was held in Beijing, with Steven S. DeKnight, who succeeded Guillermo del Toro as Best Director, appearing alongside stars Scott Eastwood, Jing Tian, ​​Lan Yingying, and other actors!"

"A mecha blockbuster hits the scene, earning 4.1 million yuan in its opening week and taking over as the top-grossing daily film of the week!"

After entering its third week, Sweet Princess's "How Long Will I Love U" saw a slowdown in box office growth, while another imported blockbuster dominated the charts.

"It seems the reputation isn't very good."

These past few days, Zhou Yutang has been so busy with post-production work that he hasn't even had time to watch a movie with Tianxian.

Ms. Liu went to the cinema with Shu Chang and gave the review that it was not as good as the previous work.

Time flew by and the 22nd arrived.

Zhou Yutang arrived in Hong Kong a day early, a day Wen Yongshan had been looking forward to for a long time.

I only received a message from Zhou Yutang at the last minute, saying that he had to go to the hospital and we would have to meet later.

After learning the reason, I felt relieved.

She had also seen news reports from Hong Kong media that the health of the over-90-year-old Zou Wenhuai was deteriorating and that he had been rushed to the hospital for the second time this year.

When Jiangdong thwarted Orange Sky's takeover of Jiahe, Zou Wenhuai played a key role.

Having been with this man for many years, Wen Yongshan naturally understood the relationship between the old man and the young man.

In fact, there have been many reports in Hong Kong local media about the friendship between Zou and Zhou despite their age difference.

The fact that Jiangdong International Film Studio was able to establish itself in Hollywood was certainly due to Zhou Yutang's exceptional talent, but it was also partly due to the influence of former Hong Kong film mogul Zou Wenhuai, who used his connections to pave the way for Wang.

He gave me a peach, and I returned a plum.

The Grand Commander of Jiangdong was also known for his loyalty and righteousness. He took Zou Wenhuai's eldest daughter, Zou Zhongyan, who was also the designated heir of the Zou family, to control Thunder in Hollywood.

Of course, these inside stories have little to do with Wen Yongshan.

She just liked to follow all the news related to Zhou Yutang.

"Hey, Karen?"

While meticulously performing her skincare routine, Moon Young-sun suddenly received a call from her agent.

"Sister Shan, there's a notice to give tomorrow morning."

"Push it for me."

"That"

“I’m not feeling well and I’d like to rest for a couple of days. Could you tell Mani?”

After giving a brief explanation, Wen Yongshan hung up the phone.

Not long after, Huo Wenxi called her personally, expressing great concern for her health: "Shan, if you're not feeling well, rest more. I'll help you coordinate the arrangements."

"Thank you, Mani."

"Don't mention it, we're all family."

Huo Wenxi smiled and said, "If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime."

As the top general under Boss Yang of Yinghuang, Huo Wenxi is also a shrewd person.

She clearly knew what Wen Yongshan was going to do.

Bilibili's Hong Kong listing and Zhou Dudu's upcoming trip to Hong Kong to attend the bell-ringing ceremony are probably the hottest news in the Hong Kong entertainment industry recently.

"He has a huge business overseas. Once Bilibili goes public, his net worth might reach the top in China."

Recalling his boss's heartfelt remarks more than once, Huo Wenxi felt slightly dazed and lost in thought, still feeling that it wasn't quite real.

Zhou Yutang hasn't even turned 30 yet, but he already has the potential to become the richest man in China.

Who knows how far he will go in the next ten or twenty years?
Wen Yongshan is not as good as the two Lius, the East and West Palaces. She may not even be ranked as a Noble Consort. At least she is a Consort or a Noble Lady. If she is not good enough, she is a Lady-in-Waiting.

Anyone who shares Zhou Yutang's bed is a connection that needs to be actively maintained.

Wen Yongshan was unaware of Huo Wenxi's ulterior motives.

She had a few days of vacation ahead of her, and in a very good mood, she continued to apply makeup to her exquisite face.

Unexpectedly, after Huo Wenxi, Mr. Yang, the owner of Yinghuang, also called personally to express his concern and to subtly inquire about Zhou Yutang's schedule.

"Chairman Yang, I'm not quite sure about that."

Wen Yongshan knew her place and what she should and shouldn't say, so she said tactfully, "However, I heard from A-Tang that he has an important project to push forward, so he may not stay here for too long."

No further words were needed; just that one "A-Tang" brought a knowing smile to Boss Yang's face.
"Haha, I understand that you're very busy. Mr. Zhou is a guest from afar, so please spend more time with him these next few days. Contact Mani if ​​anything comes up."

"I understand."

"."

The entertainment industry is such a realistic little circle.

Wen Yongshan put down her phone, pursed her red lips, and gathered her long, wavy hair.

But then she remembered the time before she met Zhou Yutang.

At that time, she was just a small-time model, like Yang Ying, desperately trying to make a name for herself in the industry.

At that time, let alone getting enough face from Boss Yang of Yinghuang, even Huo Wenxi, who works under him, probably wouldn't give him a second glance.

Her fate changed dramatically after she met Zhou Yutang.

She was originally just an unknown actress, but after getting involved with Zhou Yutang, she rose to become a top-tier actress!
She is now the top actress under Yinghuang and the most popular female star in Hong Kong!

Of course, Wen Yongshan herself knew that many people were talking about her behind her back, saying openly and secretly that she was Zhou Yutang's long-term mistress.

There were even more outrageous rumors, saying that she and Yang Ying used to play a game of "one dragon, two phoenixes" with Zhou Yutang, but later they fought over a man, and the fake best friends went their separate ways.
Zhou Yutang had long been aware of the low standards of Hong Kong media and didn't take it to heart.

Wen Yongshan initially felt a little embarrassed, but after a while, she got used to it and didn't care about it at all.

I don't know which famous person said it: Men conquer the world with swords, women conquer the world with men.

Being the wife of an ordinary man is something I'm reluctant to accept, but being the mistress of a man like Zhou Yutang would definitely bring more gains than losses.

Judging from Mr. Yang's attitude towards Huo Wenxi, Wen Yongshan appreciated the genuine respect he showed.

Furthermore, how can relying on a man not be considered hard work?
Hong Kong's social atmosphere was inherently restless and superficial. It wasn't until the Marriage System Reform Ordinance came into effect in 1971 that the old-fashioned practice of concubinage was abolished. However, the older generation's mindset remained stuck in the past. Everything was about money!

Therefore, the legendary wealth stories of people like Zhou Yutang have attracted countless Hong Kong citizens.

She was envied by countless people simply for staying by Zhou Yutang's side without having to do anything.

In Wen Yongshan's eyes, Zhou Yutang gradually became the only one.

With just one phone call from Zhou Yutang, she could drop all her engagements and appear before him in any form and at any time, whenever he needed her.

If Zhou Yutang wants to hear about the whole "one dragon and two phoenixes playing in the water" story fabricated by unscrupulous Hong Kong media, Wen Yongshan wouldn't mind either.

Now, the women around Zhou Yutang are all younger and prettier than the last, and there's also Da Lei Yangma. Wen Yongshan, who will be thirty this year, is also feeling very threatened.

If you want to solidify your position by his side, you have to put in the effort and come up with some ideas.

Since we're best friends, we should never forget each other.

Wen Yongshan's mind raced slightly, and she sent Yang Ying a message: "Baby, are you there?"

"Sister Shan, did you need something?"

People are glued to their phones these days, and Yang Ying replied almost instantly.

Are you in Hong Kong?

"There's an event the day after tomorrow for the opening of a new store of a brand in Hong Kong."

"I'm in Hong Kong, what a coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence, haha."

"Let's get together sometime, it's been so long since I've seen you."

Wen Yongshan continued, "I'm so troubled. What outfit would be most suitable for attending Bilibili's bell-ringing ceremony?"

Then, she sent several carefully taken photos of her outfits, but the other side remained silent for a while.

Bilibili's IPO has captured the attention of countless people, including Yang Ying, since the Grand Commander of Jiangdong is a major shareholder of Bilibili.
On Zhihu, some so-called industry insiders have revealed some shocking information: if the stock price follows the expected trend after the IPO, then Governor Zhou is very likely to take advantage of this opportunity to become the richest man in China.

Back then, everyone was suffering at the bottom, and the sisters stuck together for warmth. Now that they're on an aircraft carrier, you can imagine how Yang Ying feels.

The listing ceremony of Bilibili was attended by celebrities from all walks of life. In the past few days, social media platforms have been showing off the invitations, as if this is an immense honor.

There's a thick barrier between celebrities in the entertainment industry and the big shots who play the capital game. Yang Ying is somewhat famous, but she doesn't even have the right to sit at the table.

“Baby, you have great taste. Help me pick one out.”

"Hmm, I think that high-waisted bodycon skirt is nice."

"Isn't this a bit too flashy?"

"No way."

Thinking of the media's comments after Wen Yongshan attended such a grand occasion with Zhou Yutang, Yang Ying almost ground her teeth to powder, and forced a smile as she complimented him:
"It suits your temperament perfectly, Sister Shan."

The sisters' success is truly disheartening.

"."

After a heartfelt exchange of sisterly affection, they agreed to meet in Hong Kong the following day.

Wen Yongshan then sent the question of what clothes to wear to Zhou Yutang.

She deliberately chose to send it via voice message, and her voice carried a touch of the charming, coquettish tone typical of Hong Kong girls.

"Oh? Let me see?"

A few minutes later, Zhou Yutang replied and gave the instruction: "That suit and skirt set is fine."

A slightly formal white chiffon blouse paired with a suit skirt is Zhou Yutang's preferred style.

It is both stylish and elegant.

Most importantly, it's perfect for that kind of occasion; it won't look too gaudy, and it will definitely catch people's eye.

"What about this set? I only want to show it to you."

Zhou Yutang soon received a short video recorded by Wen Yongshan herself.

Upon clicking, I became quite interested.

It has to be said, Hong Kong girl Ah Shan is really good at it.

A gray high-waisted pencil skirt that hugs the hips, the hem of which is so low it seems to barely cover the shapely buttocks.

With a tight-fitting black sweater, black stockings, and red-soled black high heels, her attack speed is instantly maxed out.
Zhou Yutang adjusted the trajectory and then replied:
"I want this tonight."

March 25th is an auspicious day.

At around 7:25 a.m., the area outside the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was packed with people, an unprecedented scene.

Passersby couldn't help but turn their heads; such a scene with so many media outlets gathered is rare. Those who didn't know better might have thought the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony had been moved to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Media from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, China Southern Airlines, and Thailand were all present, along with many European and American faces, all lined up neatly.

Afei Studio was specially invited to attend this bell-ringing ceremony.

Weighing only 95 pounds, Xiao Hu was squeezed into the long, bustling crowd, inching forward with the line.

She felt like she was about to be crushed, and the strong body odor and perfume emanating from the foreigner's raised elbow made her a little dizzy.
"Brother Fei, I'm not okay, why are there so many people here?"

"That's normal, the Grand Commander has this kind of entourage."

Ah Fei looked up and glanced around, his words brimming with pride: "There are already about 500 people gathered in the venue, and it may exceed 800 by then."

"Huh? 800!?"

"And that doesn't even include the colleagues who were staking out the venue."

Bilibili, as the leading streaming media platform in China's entertainment industry, is also associated with the "Grand Commander of Jiangdong," so it's normal for it to have this kind of prestige.

A buzz of excited discussion erupted from the crowd.

Because they are about to witness the birth of a behemoth in China's entertainment industry.

Although this is not the listing of Jiangdong Entertainment itself, the rise of its streaming video platform offers a glimpse into the potential of this hidden dragon.

"They're here! The Grand Commander is here!"

"Crack! Click!"

Around 8:30, Zhou Yutang appeared with Tian Ming and Bilibili CEO Chen Rui, among others.

He usually attends press conferences in casual attire, but today he was unusually dressed in a custom-made suit.

With his deep-set features and a slightly open black silk shirt, he looked like a stoic male god from a novel who had stepped into reality.

When he finally appeared, the constant clicking of camera shutters mingled with thunderous cheers, almost lifting the dome off the building.

Tian Ming even had the mind to joke, "We also got to enjoy the celebrity treatment."

"Haha, Mr. Zhou is so popular!"

Uncle Chen Rui's mouth is even harder to suppress than Ak's; it stretches all the way to the back of his ears.

Family members, what does "takeoff" mean?

That's it.

Uncle, I'm fighting a battle for wealth!
